[ Wu doesn't step back immediately, smiling softly at her. At least he hasn't lost Mako completely. He can still have this, these little moments which, honestly, he treasures more than most of the other things. Kisses and sex are great, but closeness, intimacy, knowing each other so well? That's what he loves more. ]
I'm just washing these. You wouldn't believe how much dirt the farmers think they can get away with leaving.
[ When did Mako become picky about this? Dirty potatoes are better than trash potatoes, but you know. It was probably when she had to start washing them all the time, filling the sink with muddy water. She still feels kind of spoiled saying that and then thinking about going shopping. ]
We gonna need anything to trade for all the stuff you want to get?
[ It's kind of cute, the amount of effort Mako puts into this. It's so domestic, which is something Wu never really thought about, but he really likes. He leans on the counter next to her as she works ]
It's just one outfit. It's really not that expensive here.
[ Wu narrows his eyes, even if the compliment makes his cheeks pink. ]
Well-- [ They haven't really talked about it, despite Ryan's encouragement to. He should probably ask, if she's at all interested in him, you know, sexually. It's been wholly platonic to this point, sharing a bed because they only have the one, talking into the night, but that's it. ]

We should go! After you're done cooking.

Forgive me if I don't trust your definition of what's expensive, your Majesty.

I have money now! Like, real money! I know how to handle it.
[ An iffy statement, at best. Wu certainly isn't responsible with money at all, and would rather buy the best than save anything, still ]
Ugh, is your Wu as happy as I am to not be a "majesty" anymore?
no subject
She's thrilled about it. Couldn't wait to give up the throne. Said being Queen would've been a disaster for her skin.

[ At least the other him knows what's up ]
Come on, Mako! Those potatoes have to be clean. Let's go shopping!
no subject
[ But she does hurry up, smiling to herself at that familiar tone. ]
You're really not that different.

[ Mako lists, still smiling, taking way too long to reach for a towel because she knows Wu wants her to go quickly. ]
Cute.

Alright, alright. Let me get my coat, and before you ask, you're not buying me a new one, I'll survive this one being too big until this is over.
no subject
Yes! Yes, great, Mako! You're going to look so-- spiffy! [ He's not sure, but he has a gut instinct that Mako won't love being called "pretty" ]
no subject
Yeah, I'm sure I will. Don't go too crazy.
